          I think u’re missing the point. Who would want to keep buying nas boxes off deals… because its “no harm in getting one more”

            @kaleidoscope: Because RAID isn't a backup… so another box you can run a back to, even remotely is a good option.

            • jason andrade on 15/04/2020 - 10:15

              @Elijha: This. +1 for Elijha.

              I make a living advising people on how to build storage systems (upto the petabyte range) and if I had a $ for all the conversations that needed to be had to discuss protecting the data (backups and restores) I wouldn't have to work for a long time..

              And the principle is exactly the same for the home user..

    Cheers OP, ordered. Not expecting much haha!

  • MELso on 14/04/2020 - 16:35

    Probably a price error, but what the heck…

  • Axelstrife on 14/04/2020 - 16:35

    Ships from and sold by Tramu Computers.

    Not wasting my time.

    • Master Bates on 14/04/2020 - 16:36

      Agreed! If it was Amazon selling it I would take a gamble, but I don’t fancy anyone’s chances with this third party seller.

    • Clear on 14/04/2020 - 16:37
      +2

      AKA Umart. A more reputable seller than a nobody, but still not an FBA unfortunately.

      • Axelstrife on 14/04/2020 - 16:40

        Not about reputable or not, Amazon would be more likely to send it out as they are a lot larger than any PC store.

      • theguyrules on 14/04/2020 - 16:41

        It's $715 on their site still, so I doubt it'll go through.

        • Clear on 14/04/2020 - 16:43

          On a plus side you can normally get a voucher from Amazon.

            @Clear: I think that's only for Amazon shipped items.

            • Clear on 14/04/2020 - 16:59

              @hypie: Then I'll just take my refund if it's not honoured.

    Well that was impulsive.

    Is it possible it might be correct due to a newer model to be released soon?

      Was planned for Q3 2020 now maybe 2021. Also talk of the name being DS921+ as opposed to DS920+

    Pretty sure this happened a few years ago with a crazy price error. They all ended up getting cancelled by Amazon.

    but first time seeing the amazon seller protection, can't add to cart

  • 0FoxGiven on 14/04/2020 - 16:50

    I bought mine previously for $671 with 10% cashback. If my price protection claim goes through, This will end up costing me less than $250 :)

      update us about price protection claim.

        Approved today!

        My bargain of the decade 😁

        • sendcoupons on 08/05/2020 - 11:41

          How does price protection work?

          • 0FoxGiven on 08/05/2020 - 12:00

            @sendcoupons:

            Price Protection, which gives cardholders who use the card to purchase a product and then see the price of that product from the same retailer fall within six months after the purchase date, get a refund of the difference back on the card. The cost of this protection is 0.5% of the monthly closing balance

  • Jit0809 on 14/04/2020 - 16:51

    damn just missed it

  • Butanal on 14/04/2020 - 16:51

    Something probably went wrong with their system integration like in this deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/454982

    • hypie on 14/04/2020 - 16:53

      I wonder if they fixed the order or just refunded.

  • bubblebobble2 on 14/04/2020 - 16:51

    They probably will cancel the order… happened to me before

  • littlesoldier on 14/04/2020 - 16:53
    +1

    If its sold by Amazon AU then there will be a chance of getting it honored
    or at least score a gift card as a compensation

    However, seems this is sold by third party seller
    Quite likely that they will just cancel the order if its a price error

    BTW, I already have a 418+ at home (2 bays) and been really going strong
    Been using the DS Photo, DS Camera, Docker (To host 7-11 python script) and Surveillance station (hosting 6 IP cameras) daily
    No issues at all and it has been up and running (non-stop) for over a year now

    Remember to get a reliable UPS as well in case there's a power outage

    • hypie on 14/04/2020 - 17:02

      @littlesoldier What IP cameras do you use?

      • littlesoldier on 14/04/2020 - 17:20
        +2

        A couple of different brands
        2 x Foscam c2
        2 x Xiaomi XiaoFang (with hacked firmware to get RTSP stream)
        1 x GENBOLT outdoor cam (wide angle water proof)
        1 x Reolink e1 pro

        Basically most IP cameras that support RTSP or Onvif will work

    So cheap now. Unofficially can support 16GB ram. You just need to buy the correct SODIMM 8x2 DDR

    • XeKToReX on 14/04/2020 - 17:21

      I run a bunch of Dockers with 8GB, unless you're running VMs 8 should do it. Can Max the 1g ports no problem over SMB.

      I use a pair of cheap 256GB NVMe cache drives in raid1 and it flys.

      • neonlight on 14/04/2020 - 17:25

        Yeah I run 4+ VMs on it. Not sure how much Docker use and how many containers you got.

        However it only comes with 4GB RAM which is not enough

        • Elijha on 14/04/2020 - 17:34

          Updated mine from some old drives to new ones and forgot to format as BTRFS to allow for the virtualisation DOH! No easy way to repartition or change this.
          Now I need to figure out how to confidentially backup 6TB of data plus configs and migrate it.

    • justtoreply on 14/04/2020 - 17:26

      Finding "which ones" was a total nightmare when I looked into it.

      For any given stick, one person says yay but the next person says nay.

      Stability short term is fine then long term is not.

      So.. Which sticks are ok then?

      • neonlight on 14/04/2020 - 17:29

        I briefly recall the ones that go to Mac book pro are of the same DDR timings.

  • Arsenal on 14/04/2020 - 17:09
